I think it's time.
Any suggestions?
I feel like the Dodge Challenger RT is calling my name. Maybe even a tag that says "2FAST4U" or something. Not really.
But seriously, any suggestions?

That's exactly what I've been wanting

Dodge Charger is affordable for many student athletes so the price point and financing must be really good.

Buy a Camry. Drive it for 12 years. Invest the money you would have spent on your next three cars.

The only FCA vehicle I had as a pile of shite. I swore them off but not everyone has issues with their cars.
I would get the Mustang or the Camaro over the Challenger, but do what you wish. It is your money after all.

Mustang or Camaro are much much better cars than any Dodge.
My advice, see if you can find an 03-04 Cobra that's not beat to hell, or if you bags of money GT350.

Dodge vehicles are the lowest rated vehicles you can possibly buy. Go read any kind of consumer report on quality and reliability. I'm unsure how Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep/Ram/Fiat are still in business.
With that said, as long as you have some bank for repairs, enjoy.

Get yourself a car you aren't going to hate in less than two years. Something with 4 doors.

I am thinking of getting a new vehicle also but not sure how to get a payment or negotiate a price. I know I should not pay sticker price for a vehicle, but I am absolutely clueless about vehicle shopping/princing

Are you a Dude or a Chick and how old are you?
Yes, it matters.

Dude and old enough that I should know how to negotiate a vehicle price, it is just I have never done it at a dealership, as used to get a car from Grandfathers company fleet
I can negotiate a shoe/apparel contract for a FCS/FBS school but not a vehicle, yes I am chicken.

Here are the rules...
1. Don't worry about how much the dealership is or isn't making. Only concern yourself with "can I afford this, is this a good financial decision for me."
2. Some cars have almost no markup so deep discounts aren't always possible. If you're buying a new full size pick up truck you want to get at least $10K off msrp.
3. Don't get emotionally involved
4. Preowned cars are a crap shoot - you never really know how much the dealership has or doesn't have in it.
5. As far as payments, if you have good credit figure $20 of payment for every $1000 you finance over 60 months. So if you finance $20K your payment should be $400.
This is important because dealerships generally either will make money by holding gross on the car or adding points to your financing rate.
Be aware of this and take each step on its own.
- trade in value
- car price
- financing rate
All separate steps.
6. The internet has many tools to educate yourself on market value
7. Cars are stupid expensive these days, get ready for sticker shock
8. When you're close and you're ready to buy, tell them your Wife won't agree. Go home, think it over - they will call you and either offer you the same deal, meaning that really is the best deal you're going to get, or they will come off some more. Either way you win.
Good luck!
